Coronavirus, survival diary.
| Day 2. Global pandemic. 11 March 2020 |
WHO today declares coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic. Covid-19 is already a pandemic, not that it is now means that it is now more dangerous, "only" that this new disease is already on a global spread roll, which is no reason to rejoice either.
UK health minister Nadine Dorries tests positive for coronavirus. Iran's Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri is also infected. Ana Pastor, second vice-president of Congress announces who has tested positive for coronavirus. Another Vox deputy in Andalusia tests positive for coronavirus, it appears to be Carlos Zambrano and the Andalusian Parliament suspends its activity during this week, as well as the planned commissions.

Trump, in a message to the nation, announces the suspension of all travelfrom Europe (except the UK) to the US for the next 30 days from Friday at midnight. He also speaks of emergency economic measures, without specifying much, for workers who are "sick, quarantined or in the care of others because of the coronavirus".
Telework
This teleworking in confinement is very good, I have stopped sending the work to the company and they haven't complained yet. As they have direct debit payments, the money keeps arriving on time. I hope it takes them a long time to go and check if the payers are still alive. I don't really care either, my black market business selling toilet paper on the Deep Web is running like a shot. The price of half a roll has already surpassed the price of Bitcoin.
This morning I went up to the terrace to have a look at the village and see if it was still there, but it turned out to be night. In the morning I'll take some boards off the windows. It's not all hardship though, today I found out that Mazinguer Z is in one piece on Nerfly and that he's back Alejo and Valentina.
See all the days before.
